Pinoy Big Brother Season 7 Big Night 2017 concludes this Sunday, March 5, with the announcement of the lucky big winner. Maymay, Edward, Kisses and Yong are the Lucky Big 4 in the longest season of Big Brother’s real-life teleserye. Fans of Mayward, the collective name of Maymay and Edward, are confident one of these two would be the grand winner. However, Kisses and Yong a.k.a. KissYong have strong and supportive fans, too. PBB alum Kim Chiu is performing tonight. This is a live blog. Refresh the page for updates.
PBB Lucky 7 March 5: Mayward Win Expected
The loveteam of Maymay and Edward was hyped even further in the final week of PBB Lucky Season 7. In a challenge called Truth or Lie, host Toni Gonzaga asked Maymay if she liked Edward. Maymay was reluctant to admit it, but she later said yes. Then, in a separate session, Edward said Maymay is beautiful inside and out. He particularly liked it when Maymay would skip the use of spoon and fork when eating.
FINAL UPDATE: Read the live blog recap of highlights below. Congratulations to Pinoy Big Brother Teen Lucky Season 7 winner, Marydale “MayMay” Entrata! The PBB voting results are stated below in the live blog. Maymay got 42.71 percent of the votes cast on the second Big Night. Voting window opened for 25 minutes only. The runner-up, Kisses, got 31.27 percent of the votes. Maymay is the grand winner of the longest PBB season ever. Read her inspiring message in the recap below.
Two housemates were neck and neck on top of the voting results in PBB March 4, the first part of the Big Night. (Read the Lucky 7 Big Night Part 1 recap here.) Towards the ending, the difference between the two leads was even less than one percent. Mayward fans are convinced their favorite PBB loveteam is leading the voting race.
On the other hand, KissYong or Yong and Kisses are also strong contenders in PBB Lucky Season 7. Yong has strong family values. Kisses wears her heart on her sleeve. Both of them are generally good and relatable. Also, it was easy to sympathize with Kisses when ex-housemate Marco broke her heart. She even openly talked about it during the Truth or Lie challenge. For his part, Yong thinks real-life romance is possible between them after PBB. It will not be completely shocking if either one of them snags the win from Mayward.
PBB Lucky 7 Big Winner: Maymay, Edward, Kisses or Yong?
The live episode of PBB Lucky Season 7 Big Night Part 2 is expected to go on air before 10:00 p.m. tonight. This section of this live blog will recount the highlights of the grand finale. So, refresh for updates. Update: The live blog has ended.
11:11 p.m. “Maraming salamat dahil pinili n’yong maging bahagi kayo sa pangarap ko at matupad ang mga ‘to,” Maymay says. In an inspiring speech, she emphasizes everyone should not be afraid to be true to themselves. She wins one million pesos, a house and lot from Camella Homes and an Asian Tour package. The program ends with a rainfall of confetti as the live program ends.
11:06 p.m. Maymay’s mom and lola thank all of her supporters. Incidentally, avid viewers of the show are wondering if Maymay’s father is watching at this moment. In the final week of PBB Lucky Season 7, Maymay opens up about her thoughts on her father. If she meets him, she says, she will ask him why he left. Maymay is pretty in pink as she walks from the live audience area to a cute blue and yellow house that was suspended for a minute for everyone in the sports arena to see.
11:00 p.m. The arena is ripe and ready for the big winner announcement. ABS-CBN bosses Ms. Cory Vidanes and Direk Lauren Dyogi are on stage to award the big winners. And the second lucky big place is the “miracle daughter of Masbate,” Kirsten Danielle “Kisses” Delavin. The lucky big winner, as many had predicted, is Maymay! Kisses’ parents look so calm in contrast to the wildly chaotic arena. But when they welcome their daughter on stage, they definitely let go of the feels. “‘Wag kayong susuko sa inyong mga pangarap,” she says. “Patuloy kayong magmahal nang magmahal.” Kisses gets P500,000 in cash prize.
10:47 p.m. The third lucky big placer is — Cornillo “Yong” Muhajil! PBB calls him the hope of Zamboanga. He also gets a cash prize worth P200,000. The results show that among the two loveteams left in the Big 4, the young ladies enjoy more support from the fans. Now, is it Kisses, or is it Maymay? Who is the Big Winner of PBB Lucky Season 7? Everyone holds their breath as commercials roll.
10:43 p.m. The fourth lucky big placer is — Edward Barber! PBB calls him the cheerful charmer of Germany. “Can’t express in words how proud I am [to be a Filipino right now],” Edward says. He wins P200,000. Mayward is no longer complete backstage. But KissYong is still together.
10:39 p.m. The PBB Big Night voting results are in: L gets 4.49 percent. U gets 31.27 percent. C gets 42.71 percent. K gets 21.52 percent. Kim Chiu and Jimboy Martin join Toni Gonzaga on stage for the announcement of PBB Lucky Season 7 winners. The suspense inside the arena is too much to contain. As Toni calls on each housemate (at this point, the housemates are still backstage, in a digitally designed confession room) the audience cheered the loudest for Maymay and Kisses.
10:20 p.m. There is only one minute left to vote. (Drumrolls!) And soon, it was over. Before the official announcements, co-hosts Bianca and Robi welcome on stage — Cora, McCoy, Nikko and Tanner. Everyone’s just so happy and feeling like a winner. Robi asks McCoy to express some message for Elisse. (What some fans want, however, is for him – Robi – to express some message for Gretchen Ho. But that would be for another story. Also, the answer would be in another show.) Shortly after the chat with the PBB alums, Kim Chiu takes the stage for a dance number. Then, Toni talks to Camella Homes representative before announcing a commercial break. (This feels like a really long 1-hour commercial break.)
10:10 p.m. The voting results are progressing real time for the audience. Each housemate gets a letter from the word LUCK. Housemate L has so far pulled in 4.45 percent of the votes. Housemate U’s voting share is an astonishing 31.35 percent, while C has 42.64 percent. Housemate K has so far pulled in 21.60 percent. There are only 10 minutes left. The performance of PBB 2006 big winner Kim Chiu is coming up next.
10:05 p.m. Housemates are tasked to ask a fellow Big 4 winner. Kisses asks Edward about the biggest challenge he has faced. Edward says being at Kuya’s house was the biggest challenge. Edward asks Maymay: What do you think helped you to get to the Big 4?
Maymay says she joined PBB to showcase her skills to the world, not just to play. Maymay then asks Yong: What experience would she not look back to in PBB? Yong says it’s the bullying that he would not remember with fondness. He then asks Kisses: What would she do with the money in case she wins? Kisses says she would give the money to her parents.
9:55 p.m. Voting time starts again. Only one vote per SIM will be counted. All votes are back to zero at this point. The voting window will close after 25 minutes. Now, we go on a commercial break.
9:50 p.m. A big number opens the program for the live audience at the Alonte Sports Arena in Biñan, Laguna. Host Toni Gonzaga sings Lady Gaga’s The Edge of Glory. Tanner, McCoy, Nikko and Cora join Toni and fellow ex-housemates from different seasons on stage. Co-hosts Robi Domingo and Bianca Gonzales welcome the Big 4– still blindfolded aboard a float!
9:46 p.m. The second and final part of PBB Season 7 Big Night begins. Kuya prepared a nice dinner for the Big 4 – Maymay, Edward, Kisses and Yong. The four housemates reminisce their beginnings. They all said they would dedicate their victory to their family.
